DJ Dominiq 
Rating: 5.0 (39 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,995
  • Serves San Marcos, CA

My name is Dominiq and I have been in the wedding industry since 2006. I absolutely LOVE what I do. My middle name is Jakob so my name is literally DJ, I was born for this. I have 6 sisters so not only do I love what I do, but I believe in it as a hopeless romantic at heart. I enjoy bringing together families and friends to forget about their problems for a day and just enjoy life and celebrate.

From the moment we started working with DJ Dominiq, we knew we were in good hands. He was incredibly patient and attentive, taking the time to understand our vision for the music and vibe of our wedding. On the day of, Dominiq's energy and enthusiasm were infectious - he really got my more reserved family members out on the dance floor, leading them in fun group dances like the Macarena. The music was perfectly timed, and he even helped make our first dance extra special by cueing the song at just the right moment. As a busy veterinarian, I really appreciated how on top of communication Dominiq was when it came to finalizing the song choices. Our wedding was almost 6 years ago, and to this day my family is still raving about how amazing the music and overall vibe was thanks to Dominiq's fantastic work. We couldn't recommend him more highly! He even captured this amazing photo of our first dance! It’s beautifully displayed in our living room. It’s the little things that he went above and beyond for us and he is truly amazing at what he does!

Alicia and Chris (of Virginia James music) were truly incredible. They made our special day so magical with the music they sang and played. All of our guests separately commented on how amazing they were. They did such a great rendition of our wedding song as well which they learned just for us! They both complement each other so well musically. Aside from the music, they were also a complete pleasure to work with, professional from the get go and made planning such a breeze.

If you're considering booking The Mighty Untouchables for your wedding, stop considering and BOOK right now! We were new to the San Diego area when we got engaged, and our wedding planner recommended The Mighty Untouchables. We had not heard them live, which made me nervous, but we took a chance and booked them anyway. Best. Decision. Ever. Our wedding was a BLAST due in large part to the band keeping the dance floor packed the whole time. We were told by so many of our guests that The Mighty Untouchables were not only the best wedding band they had ever heard, but one of the best bands period (and that they would pay to see them live again, even outside the wedding context). We agree! Beyond their musical talent, The Mighty Untouchables were so kind to my husband and I on our big day, along with all of our guests. I am so thankful we got to work together. Just trust me: you won't regret The Mighty Untouchables. Thank you for helping make our wedding the most incredible day!

I've been djing since I was 15 years old. I had a fascination for parties and events at an early age. I tagged along with my brother who dj'd at house parties back in the early 80's. I was hooked after seeing how much joy the music brought out in the crowd. I started buying my own 12" records, and it evolved into doing my own gigs: house parties, jr. high & high school dances, colleges, raves, underground parties, night clubs, weddings, corporate events, and so on. I started my DJ business in 1987, and have been honing my craft now for 3 decades. Thirty plus years later, I continue to love what I do. Now let's get the party started.

We loved working with DJ John at our wedding! From the very beginning, he was super personable and easy to talk to — he really got to know us and our style, which made everything feel so effortless. The music portal Vibo, was so easy to use for uploading songs and highlighting our “must plays,” which took a lot of stress out of planning. He knew exactly how to read the room and keep the energy going all night. He killed it at our reception with the Loteria game and worked with my Dad to MC the game. Wonderful to work with and highly recommend.

I’m a San Diego-based DJ/MC with 15+ years of experience, and I still love what I do. I’ve worked hundreds of weddings and events of all sizes, from intimate gatherings to events with 1,000+ guests. I’ve worked with couples from all kinds of backgrounds and cultures, and I’ve even DJed weddings internationally. I keep things personal, keep things flowing, and make sure everyone is having a great time. I read the room, mix live, set the vibe, and know when to turn things up. I’m confident on the mic, easy to work with, and focused on making sure your wedding feels like you.

Michael was the perfect DJ for our wedding! He was so professional and fun and made our vision come to life! It was so nice knowing he was in control of the music flow as everything went exactly according to plan. He really did a superb job guiding the whole evening and nailing all of our requests. It was incredible enjoying the day knowing he was taking care of all the music and microphones and having everything flow so smoothly. We can’t speak highly enough about having him as our DJ. Thank you so much Michael for not only being a part of our special day and making it fun but by also taking the stress off of us by allowing the flow of the evening to go so smoothly with your guidance and expertise.

Not a team of rotating DJs. Just Dennis and Marlon, every single time.

From the very first phone call, sticking with us two years later, and finally having our wedding, Dennis and Marlon were AMAZING!!! Dennis knew exactly what to play from the ceremony music to reception to get everyone moving and grooving. My husband and I are from the Bay Area and we had one request - Hyphy music. Boy did Dennis deliver! He was playing hit after hit of all the bangers, and the only reason we stopped dancing was due to timing and we had to cut the music. He listened to our very specific song requests, great communication/professionalism throughout, and just the absolute best! Marlon is a vibe!! He also stepped in to make sure everything was going smoothly. We truly appreciate all of his efforts throughout the night to keep things on schedule. He was also taking pictures throughout the night which we loved!! My family and friends could not stop saying how wonderful he was. Having a wedding with this dynamic duo is a MUST! Thank you both for everything and making sure our day was one we could truly remember. We are filled with nostalgia and awe, and have you both to thank for it!

He got the dance floor going and played the songs we had selected in such a fun way, our dance floor was packed the entire time and the vibe was amazing!

Hi, I'm Leon! I grew up in the Bay Area, worked in radio, studied music and culture in grad school, and spent years at a large DJ company where I was a manager and the highest-reviewed DJ. When I realized that our values weren't compatible, I left to build something different—a space where every detail matters and showing up for each other is just the baseline.

Leon was easy to work with from the moment we met him. He was communicative and matched our vision for our reception. He played our favorite songs and mixed up the vibes when needed to keep people on the dance floor. He worked seamlessly with our coordinator to keep the night on track.

I’ve spent the past 12 years DJing over 400 weddings, and every one of them has shaped my signature approach: luxury without stuffiness, energy without gimmicks. As a multi-award-winning DJ featured in national publications, I bring more than music… I bring an atmosphere. From the moment your guests arrive to the last song of the night, everything feels intentional, seamless, and unforgettable. My mixes are live, my MC work is polished, and my goal is simple: to make your wedding the one everyone talks about long after the lights come up.

DJ Cam is an absolutely phenom DJ, MC hype man, and unbelivably talented in his craft! He makes it really easy to work with him and his team. He's incredibly fun, and pays close attention to every detail to make the night a success! Vibes, Communication, and peace of mind came with choosing Cam as our DJ and you will not be disappointed! Cameron took the time to go through each individual step, song, timing, and worked closely with our venue and coordinator (which he already knew personally) to be on top of everything and make sure the night was a success. If you want a truly unforgettable night and a dance floor that your guests won’t stop talking about, book DJ Cameron as your DJ!

Hey there, I'm DJ Preston! My DJ journey began at 15, and it's been an incredible ride ever since. Starting in 1995, I spun tracks for school dances, bars, and clubs, then moved into radio, spending 8 years on air. I've performed at award shows, corporate events, weddings, and traveled the country for nightclub gigs, even sharing stages with big-name artists. Recently, I was honored as one of the best wedding DJs in San Diego by California Wedding Day in 2024. I love creating unforgettable atmospheres where everyone can dance and have an amazing time.

We interviewed several DJ's before settling on DJ Preston for our wedding at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. We were impressed with Preston's responses to our interview, we could tell he cared about attention to detail and enjoyed his craft. On the day of the wedding Preston was an absolute professional. The music was the perfect volume from pre-ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner to dancing. The audio for all speeches was perfect as well. I heard from several of our guests "the DJ was great!" so what else is there to say? I didn't have much banter with Preston before or after the wedding, but if you're looking for a professional who pays attention to the details and delivers a great set, then Preston is your guy! He did a great job reading the vibe for our dollar dance and facilitating an amazing night. Thanks Preston!!

New to Zola, but trusted at weddings and events throughout Southern California for OVER 15 YEARS, 500+ WEDDINGS. Jukebox Entertainment Live blends high energy live musicianship with seamless DJ coverage to create unforgettable celebrations and packed dance floors. Live band energy. Seamless DJ flow. Unforgettable weddings.

Do not hesitate...book JukeBox!!!. I promise you will be in the best hands. I was lucky enough to experience JukeBox firsthand at my brother-in-law’s wedding, and I am not exaggerating when I say the band was THE highlight of the night. As a guest, my experience with them was a 10000/10. The range and variety of music, the talent of every single member, and the sheer level of performance brought so much fun and energy to the night. It truly felt like a private concert! Guests were crowding the front of the stage, every age group was dancing, and I genuinely did not want to leave the dance floor. After that night, I knew my husband and I had to have them at our wedding. When it came time to book entertainment, we didn’t even consider anyone else. Now speaking as a bride: Jon, David, and the entire team behind the scenes are professional, kind, responsive, organized, and genuinely wonderful people. Meeting with Jon to plan everything was seamless. We felt comfortable right away, everything was explained clearly, and there were absolutely no surprises. They truly care about giving you the best possible experience and work with you to make your vision come to life. Trust can be hard to come by when you’re wedding planning. You’re spending so much money, and it’s honestly nerve-wracking not knowing if everything will live up to what you’re hoping for — especially with such a huge day on the line. But JukeBox is NOT a vendor you need to second-guess. They are worth every single penny!!! David is an incredible MC who kept the entire evening flowing effortlessly. We incorporated a Filipino money dance into our reception, and I was so unsure about what music to use. David patiently worked through my many emails, helped guide me through the decision, and I never once had to second-guess that it would all come together smoothly. On the wedding day, it was seamless. They are a well oiled machine and they operate so flawlessly and are truly such a driving force to the party!! During the planning process, David was always responsive and attentive, and everything felt completely tailored to us. He even professionally cut and edited our first dance and father-daughter dance songs, and they turned out perfectly. Our dance floor was packed all night long & guests are still talking about how amazing the band was just like they still talk about them from my brother-in-law’s wedding. We cannot recommend JukeBox highly enough. They made our wedding reception unforgettable and truly brought our dream celebration to life. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!!

San Diego’s premier female DJ & MC, getting shorty fire-burning on the dance floor since 2012! With her exceptional skills in DJing and MCing, she has become the go-to choice for all types of events, ranging from elegant weddings to large corporate events, intimate house parties to dancy bars and clubs. You will typically catch DJ Tigerlily mixing between hiphop, pop, rock, house, electro, funk, disco, and latin tracks, old school to the new. No two playlists are ever the same with this DJ as she thoughtfully prepares for each event based off her client's musical tastes and later builds off the crowd's reaction.

Lily DJ-ed at our wedding in May 2024, and we cannot recommend her enough! She was friendly, responsive, organized, and clearly had a lot of valuable experience in the industry. She did an amazing job using our playlist as inspiration to keep everyone on the dance floor. She read the dance floor really well, making adjustments quickly to maintain the right energy. The vibes were great (all thanks to her!!), and many of our guests made it a point to let us know she did a great job. A friend even said DJ Tiger Lily was the best DJ they'd ever seen at a wedding, which was a high compliment! We highly recommend her for your events, and we are definitely keeping her in mind for any future events!

My guests had an amazing time and he helped the entire day to go along smoothly. I cannot recommend him enough, we had the best time and all the music was phenomenal.

For over 25 years, I’ve been turning music into memories. From luxury brand events with Sephora, Macy’s and H&M to unforgettable intimate gatherings, I’ve performed at every type of event there is—but nothing compares to my favorite: the beauty of a wedding day. My journey began as a kid mesmerized by rhythm, inspired by how music could move people’s hearts. That passion has only deepened with time. Today, I bring that same childlike wonder and hard-earned mastery to every couple’s love story. For me, DJing isn’t just sound—it’s emotion, connection, and the art of capturing the heartbeat of the crowd that will be remembered forever.

I thought hiring a DJ was just about someone showing up and playing songs, but DJ Heartbeat (Bren) made it so much more than that. He kept the energy perfect, the timing smooth, and honestly he made the night stress-free for us. Before, I was so anxious about all the little details, both the music and our first dance and everything else but during the wedding, I didn’t think about them once. It all went so perfectly. That’s how good he is! A

Hey! I’m Pat, a solo guitarist and singer based in San Diego. I’ve been performing for over 20 years and love creating the perfect atmosphere for each couple’s special day. Whether it’s a relaxed cocktail hour or a lively reception, I tailor my set to fit the moment and bring good energy through timeless classics and feel good favorites. Music has always been my way of connecting with people, and it’s an honor to help make weddings unforgettable through the songs everyone loves.

Patrick made our elopement on Sunset Cliffs absolutely magical. His live versions of They Love Each Other by the Grateful Dead and In the Morning Light by Billy Strings fit the moment perfectly. He’s talented, kind, and intuitive exactly the kind of musician you want for a meaningful event.
